Ohio State’s Efficient, High-Intensity Forward with Elite FG% and Proven Scoring
Tanaya Beacham, a Youngstown native and lifelong Ohio State fan, brings elite efficiency (54.3% FG in 2025–26) and proven scoring (10.8 PPG, 5.5 RPG at Toledo in 2020–21) to the Buckeyes as a graduate-transfer forward. Her differentiators include relentless intensity, a team-high 58.3% field-goal rate at Toledo, and a natural fit for teams needing a physical, high-percentage scorer who starts games and defends with purpose. Though her assist numbers are low (0.3 AST), her rebounding (3.7 REB) and scoring consistency make her a reliable role player. No major injury history is reported, and her personality—driven, loyal, and acclimated to OSU culture—adds intangible value. She’s a strong fit for teams prioritizing efficiency, rebounding, and veteran presence over playmaking.
